Trees Refuse To Reveal the Distance
TREES REFUSE TO REVEAL THE DISTANCE
Limes lie, slim elms smile :
Lime Isle lies miles.

Note
Every word in this verse is composed of letters in
the word MILES, each letter used only once per word.
I asked the lime and elm trees how far away the Lime Isle was, and
this is the vague response I received.
